On the MSD2242VEB the usual complaints trace back to the damper, evaporator fan or dispenser valve, not to the sealed or drive system behind it. The plate also dates the machine, which matters when deciding whether a repair is worth doing.
Before booking, it is worth confirming gasket cleaning, filter changes and leaving space around the vents. Everything deeper is a service call, and treating it that way protects both the appliance and the warranty.
